Micron tubular rivets are excellent fasteners to quickly and inexpensively join materials together. The tubular portion of the rivet may be fastened to a tight or loose fit depending on the application. Riveted pieces are most often joined together by impacting or compressing the tubular end of the rivet. The length of the rivet shank must be long enough to pass through work-piece with enough shank length left over for clinching process. The tightness of the clinched joint is determined by the amount of force applied to the clinched end of the rivet and can easily be adjusted.
